Who we are
We are a class of 50 twelve years old studying in Grade 6 in a low income private school in Pune. We are a part of Teach for India classroom and this reading program will give us the platform to build our love for reading and be continuous learners. This program will give us the opportunity of reading books of not just English language but also our own vernacular language. We have been trying to raise book on our own from different sources and this platform will definitely give a boost to our reading program.
Our work and its impact
I have been a part of this class for last one year and have always tried to build the culture of reading in the class. My kids love it when I read them stories and I always make sure to keep a stack of books with me from which they can take a book and read. This has helped in not only building their reading level but also confidence of sharing what they learn from the books they read. I am a strong believer of the fact that books expose you to a lot of knowledge and helps in building your personality from a young age. The spark in my kids eyes when they come to me after reading a book and share about the new idea that they got to explore,only strengthens my belief of how much the book and the knowledge in it can shape one's mind.
How we will utilise these books
I am a fellow in Teach for India , leading 50 inquisitive young minds of Grade 6 in a low income private school. I have been trying my best by supporting my students inside as well as outside the classroom , help them in being strong individuals who have the capability of not only being critical thinkers but also be empathetic towards their surroundings. My purpose of being here is simply to be able to create small ripples in the this ocean where kids are struggling to get what they deserve , everyday I try to expose them to the various possibilities that are out there for them and how each and everyone of them has the capacity of doing what they want to in their life at the same time having the conscience of giving back to the society in what ever way possible. Reading has always felt like a doorway to a different world altogether and the books raised through this platform will give them the opportunity to do that. The idea is that not only my class but also the the primary grade students of our school will be able to explore the different worlds. This program will help in encouraging the idea of reading book and help students in learning more than just the school content. This will also promote reading of book in their vernacular language and value that language as well. Our aim is to raise as many book as possible , because no number is enough when it comes to books.
